HRT - Any statistics on potential risk levels/cancers etc.?

[Terracotta]

I want to know if anyone has an information on statistics on cancers etc. suffered from people undergoing HRT therapy?

I'm saying this, because it may be just coincidence, I know of one MTF transsexual who passed away from a terminal cancer, and just I think a month ago - another MTF transsexual woman from NYC passed away unexpectedly (I didn't know her, but we had mutual friend connections).

If you have an extremely healthy lifestyle, a well-rounded vegetarian diet with a daily walk of 20-30 minutes, don't smoke or drink - I realize that would also affect your probability statistics
- but I don't feel it'd have an affect on cancers but it would for the most part cancel out the probability of deep vein thrombosis which is, from what I've read, the biggest risk of HRT therapy for MTF.

I also hear alot of first-hand stories from other sources, but it may just be somewhat coincidental. Can anyone provide statistics?

*BUMP* Can anyone link a study/or a general idea of the risks/statistical rates? <3

I know this must be such a sensitive topic for some people.

I meant to post before but got carried away with something. There is a caveat on when you started HRT.

I was told that the risk of breast cancer is about the same as for cis women. If you have a history of breast cancer in your family you should get BRACA tested.

Bone density problems may be significant.

You have a decreased chance of prostate cancer.

I suspect that autoimmune disease may be increased towards that of cis women, a project that I am working on at the moment.

Thanks for that Cindy!
